Foster a sense of agency and autonomy in students through assessment from "summary" of Hacking Assessment by Starr Sackstein

One of the key goals of assessment is to empower students to take ownership of their learning and develop a sense of agency and autonomy. By involving students in the assessment process, we can help them see themselves as active participants in their educational journey rather than passive recipients of grades and feedback. When students are given a voice in how they are assessed, they are more likely to be engaged and motivated to put forth their best effort. This sense of agency can lead to increased confidence and a greater investment in their own learning. Students who feel that they have some control over the assessment process are more likely to take risks, make mistakes, and learn from their experiences. Encouraging students to set their own goals and reflect on their progress can also help foster a sense of agency and autonomy. By giving students the opportunity to track their own growth and development, they can see the direct impact of their efforts and make adjustments as needed. This self-directed approach to assessment can lead to a deeper understanding of their strengths and areas for growth. In order to truly empower students through assessment, it is important to create a culture of trust and collaboration in the classroom. When students feel supported and valued, they are more likely to take ownership of their learning and strive for excellence. By providing meaningful feedback and creating opportunities for reflection, teachers can help students develop the skills they need to succeed in school and beyond.
